I underestimated Rachel at the beginning. She’s a cool cookie.

Arghhh!!!!!

Ruthless Rachel.

Ah that makes sense.

I still suspect Fiona because she redirected them back to Hugo at the round table when the group got distracted from Harriet's theory.

Aargh!!!

So Ellie's the ST? What was the actual point of the ST if the reveal is so early?

Why did she mark Stephen's name? She's wasted a potential victim choice. Traitors can't murder traitors even if she did want to. And why wasn't Stephen bothered that she'd done that? Did I miss something?

It best not turn out to be one of the homogenous young lads. I’d be disappointed to wait until Wednesday for that.

It gets to that stage where everything someone does could be interpreted as the opposite.

The person in the red cloak in the tower is not the same as the person who was in the cloak in the first episode.

the first was a tall broad male silhouette. This was a shorter female figure.

my money is on Fiona.

If the red cloaked figure is the actual person, I reckon it’s a tall woman, so Ellie. I thought Ross until the walking toward the castle shot; that’s a woman’s walk. And too tall for Fiona.

Because everyone will see it and will assume only faithfuls have been marked.

Hugo. What a div

Very true

Its only one name out of nine and might help cement him as a faithful.

I think she said she hadn't marked Stephen's name. She's very cold

Really disappointed they’ve brought the ST to an end already, was hoping that would play out for longer.

They did say they would put one of their names down as a misdirect but people always assume the traitors will put themselves on these lists so she was saving herself by doing it. If those red marks are noticed by any she’s in trouble anyway though because she was far too obvious about the whole thing.

I mean, Ellie literally mentioned the ST.

Agreed. I don’t think they thought they would get one so soon.

Ah she did. An unlikely phrase to just ‘happen upon’…

Also I REALLY don't like the 'plain sight' mission where they just show loads of people wandering through the castle and then the traitors on their own together for so long. It's soooo staged.

Think she played it really well. Perfect strike. I think she just spotted the behaviour change. Harriet bought Hugo up first.

I must have missed that…what did she say?
Getting a Traitor so early was unusual.
